INVENTORS RISE AND FALL(song)
The ferris wheel is running
forever in one place.
Some have bought their tickets
rolled and left the space.
Man invented the wheel
it's what they taught us all.
The wheel spins away
inventors rise and fall.
Stars wish for immortality
upon a shooting star.
Man's a construction worker
paving a road that goes far.
With a timer on the breast
walk the greatest and small.
All men were born to be
pictures on the wall.
Children change. change
clothes, clothes change.
Greatness and genius,
talent, truth, all new range.
There will be the limelight
then the curtains fall.
All men were born to be
pictures on the wall.
Pinwheels, paper planes,
sunlight and rain fall
look into their deep eyes
they have seen it all.
Hear the silent voice speak.
on the other side of the call.
The wheel spins away
Inventors rise and fall.
THE PEACE GATE (song)
And you went around darkness
like the sun.
And you woke up dew eyed
like the dawn
You heart set on fire
a resting midday hour.
The evening went numb
the pain was gone.
What is it for
this loss of peace
then asking for more.
What is it for
to throw the keys
then knock on the door.
There's one address
on the letter from your fate.
Everywhere you go
You'll search the peace gate.
And you stole with the winds
all you wished to have.
And you fought in the wilderness
to earn your rest.
Your madness flipped calendars
changed you and the wonders.
You blossomed into springtime
to love with your best.
What is it for
this loss of peace
then asking for more.
What is it for
to throw the keys
then knock on the door.
There's one address
on the letter from your fate.
Everywhere you go
You'll search the peace gate.
And you shone for immortality
in a sky with no clocks.
You dreamt up the oceans
sitting on the shore.
You carried life's secrets
inside your big womb.
You flew around the world
then slept on the floor.
What is it for
this loss of peace
then asking for more.
What is it for
to throw the keys
then knock on the door.
There's one address
on the letter from your fate.
Everywhere you go
You'll search the peace gate.
